Cauliflower is not an especially well-studied vegetable on its own, according to World's Healthiest Foods. Studies of diets that contain cauliflower, however, have been linked to cancer prevention.
Cauliflower florets, leaves and stalks are all edible. They can be cooked, eaten raw and added to soup stock, according to World's Healthiest Foods.

Shorter cooking times can minimize the odor.
